I mean in a situation where if they don't come up running after a
scheduled update/reboot it will cost you something. Doing a job that
can wait until an experienced administrator fixes things or pulling data
stored in some more reliable repository doesn't really count.

There are critical pieces of Fedora Project running on Fedora and that
certainly would cost the project much if those systems run into
problems. Contact infrastructure team (public list) if you need more
precise details.
